From New York Times bestselling author Tracy Anne Warren, the first in a series about the most dashingly dangerous men in London. Pay a call to the most seductive address in London and meet the Rakes of Cavendish Square... Lord Leo Byron is bored with the aristocratic company he keeps; he needs a distraction, preferably in the form of a beautiful new female companion. So when he sets eyes on fascinating and scandalous divorc e Lady Thalia Lennox, he's determined to make her intimate acquaintance. But the spirited woman seems to have no intention of accepting his advances no matter how much he chases--or how hard he falls... Once a darling of Society, Thalia Lennox now lives on its fringes. The cruel lies that gave her a notoriously wild reputation have also left her with a broken heart and led to a solemn vow to swear off men. Still, Leo Byron's bold overtures are deliciously tempting, and, for the first time, she finds herself wondering whether it just might be worth the risk to let the attractive rake into her life--and her bed...
This book is a delight. Leo is the kind of man who can steal your heart before you know it; suave beyond his years, thoughtful, loving and kind. He sets his sights on notorious divorcee Thalia as a prospective new mistress, but she'll have none of it until he suffers an injury and convinces her to give him two weeks to change her mind. Needless to say, Leo is successful but she's still hesitant to pursue any deeper connection due to their age difference (she's older) and her secrets. Of course Leo won't be denied and so the story plays out. I enjoyed all the characters and how these two overcame adversity to claim their happiness. I've read it again several times just because I know I'll enjoy it all over again. I have the series and the other books are good, but this one is the standout.
